Quote:While I'm sure there will be multiple franchise-level QBs in the draft, if you have the opportunity to land the QB you feel has the best chance to succeed, you take it. You don't wait until the second round to select your runner-up. Not at the QB position.

 

That's irrefutable logic.

Especially when you don't have one already.

 

If we had a franchise QB (We don't even have someone of backup caliber at this point) then we could definitely take a shot at a guy in the 2nd.  And if Bridgewater is who we get, I hope before his career is over we take a few guys in the 2nd or 3rd.  But with where this team is at, you want the best shot at success at the position.  You don't want your second choice because there's a once-in-a-generation player available (unless it's at QB)  or maybe even your third choice if your second is taken before then.  or... Fourth... or having to trade up to get your second choice..
